Hamsi tava is a fast, satisfying dish of anchovies coated in fine cornmeal and pan-fried until crisp and golden. The fish stays tender inside, with bright lemon cutting through the richness for a classic Black Sea finish.

Nasi Goreng Kampung is smoky, spicy fried rice packed with soft egg, crisp anchovies, and the fresh snap of long beans. It is fast, deeply savoury, and brightened at the table with cool cucumber and lime.
